I'm sure the files are transcoded. I only do it when I cut commercials and want to shrink the file to save space. ~800mb 1/2 hour shows get their commercials cut and then transcode down to around 185mb. It turns out the CVS version is not playing them though. CVS installed to /usr/local/bin/mplayer, while the other version I had is installed at /usr/bin/mplayer. I fire up these tv shows from konqueror, which was still pointed at /usr/bin/mplayer. What confuses me is that I'm sure /usr/bin/mplayer couldn't play them, that's why I decided to try CVS. After compiling and installing CVS, they played fine and I thought konqueror was using CVS. Maybe I lost track of what I was doing and I'm spouting crap. I guess the only thing I can say for sure is that the version at /usr/bin/mplayer can play the transcoded files. Below is the output (trimmed) of the two version run on a transcoded file from the command line. /usr/local/bin/mplayer won't play them, but /usr/bin/mplayer can.
